When your stomach is causing you problems, making an appointment with a
gastroenterologist should be one of your top priorities. At RRH, we offer
comprehensive gastroenterology services close to home in Ridgecrest from
a team of highly skilled and experienced providers.
Gastroenterologists specialize in the treatment of diseases and disorders
of the gastrointestinal system. This includes the stomach, esophagus,
small intestine, large intestine, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The
cause of stomach pains can be notoriously difficult to diagnose, and they
are not always tied directly to the stomach itself. Our gastroenterologists
are very familiar with various types of stomach pain and their most common
causes. They can walk you through the diagnostic procedures that can most
likely find the root cause of your condition.
People frequently seek out treatment from a gastroenterologist for help
with the following symptoms:
Difficulty swallowing

Services provided:

Gastrointestinal Disorders Colon Cancer Screening
Screenings & Preventative Health Services
In addition to providing treatment for existing stomach problems, RRH’s
gastroenterologists can also provide you with preventative health and
screening services. A common reason people visit the gastroenterologist
even when they aren’t feeling sick is for a routine colonoscopy.
Colonoscopies are used to check the health of the lower intestines and
colons. It is recommended that you receive a colonoscopy every ten years
if you are over the age of 45.
Our gastroenterologists also provide cancer screenings for colorectal,
colon cancer and intestinal. If someone in your family has had one of
these cancers, then your risk factors are higher, and you should be sure
to stay on top of your screenings.
The RRH gastroenterology team will be happy to answer any of your questions
about digestive health. Our goal is to keep you and your family in good
health for years to come.
